Dana White recently said that Brock Lesnar will be fighting in the UFC again, and with Brock’s contract set to expire this week, many fans assumed Brock would be losing the Universal Championship on Sunday night, but that wasn’t the case.
Instead Brock Lesnar retained the title after he hit Roman Reigns with the F5 six times in the main event.
Now WWE.com has announced that Brock signed a new deal with WWE, and he’s set to defend his Universal Championship against Roman Reigns in a Steel Cage Match at the Greatest Royal Rumble event in Saudi Arabia.
The length of Brock Lesnar’s new WWE contract has not been revealed at this time.
The Greatest Royal Rumble is set to air live on the WWE Network on April 27, and it’s also been confirmed that Triple H will be facing John Cena at the event.
A Raw Tag Team Title match featuring The Bar defending against The Hardys was also being advertised for the event, but that will likely have to be changed now that Braun Strowman and Nicholas are the new Raw Tag Team Champions.
Seth Rollins is set to defend the Intercontinental Championship against The Miz, Finn Balor and Samoa Joe in a ladder match, and the event will also feature the biggest Royal Rumble match in history which will see a total of 50 WWE Superstars compete.
